It certainly doesn't work for either of the officially supported LKM cdevs (joy and qcam). Unloading either of these and then attempting to opening the nonexistent device gives precisely the trap at _spec_open+0x6e that Simon reported (the devsw entry is not affected by unloading and points to garbage). Unloading followed by reloading obviously can't work, because the driver only initializes the devsw once. Bruce
